Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division.

Caltech researchers demonstrated a new method to use light to control active matter—a kind of material made up of individual ...

The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous and tubular protein structures that support cell shape, intracellular compartmentalisation and trafficking, cell migration and cell division.

Similarly to mice that lack other regulators of the cytoskeleton, HEM1-deficient T cells showed decreased activation and proliferation compared with wild-type T cells. Surprisingly, some T-cell ...

We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites and how disturbances in this process affect physiology and disease progression. Leonardo is ...

Our ultimate goal is to define if manipulating the cytoskeleton of cancer cells will lead to improved efficacy of therapeutic approaches in patients with metastatic disease, with a special focus on ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. This work enables us to apply our findings to understand disease processes and ...
